Dynamically adding ChannelAdapter to MessageBus

[Mark Fisher]

FileSource and FileTarget have been replaced by PollableFileSource and FileWritingMessageConsumer. These are now configurable in XML within the "file" namespace using the "inbound-channel-adapter" and "outbound-channel-adapter" elements. The documentation is being updated for the RC1 release (this week), and in the meantime, you can check out several samples in "org.springframework.integration.samples.filecopy" .

Hope that helps.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the swift reply.
I figured out the use of the PollableFileSource, e.g.:

FileSystemResource fsResource = new FileSystemResource(directory);
PollableFileSource fileSource = new PollableFileSource();
fileSource.setInputDirectory(fsResource);
FileListFilter fileListFilter = new PatternMatchingFileListFilter(fileNamePattern);

Still looking for alternatives for things like messageBus.lookupChannel("someChannel") and programmatically creating a channel adapter, e.g.:
InboundChannelAdapter inboundChannelAdapter = new InboundChannelAdapter();

Maybe I will wait for the RC1 documentation.

Thanks,

FileReadingMessageSource => <file:inbound-channel-adapter/> and
FileWritingMessageConsumer => <file:outbound-channel-adapter/>

You should be able to find that in the latest documentation. If not you can create a documentation issue in JIRA as well. If you run an ant build it wil generate a zip that contains documentation. (you can find the svn url etc on the project page)

Hi Mark and Iwein,

I can confirm that this works fine in the RC1 release, hooking up a FileReadingMessageSource (source), a MessageChannel, a SourcePollingChannelAdapter (for hooking up the source and the channel), a ServiceActivatingHandler and a EventDrivenConsumer (which actually invokes the handler).

Compliments on the RC1 release, I really enjoy it.

Cheers,
